User reviews

Fast Image Blocker is appreciated for its effective blocking of all images and simple design, including a helpful whitelist feature to allow images on selected sites. Users value its ability to save bandwidth and ease of use. However, some experience inconsistency in the whitelist functionality, with exceptions not always working correctly, and the inability to export/import whitelist settings. It blocks only images but does not extend to videos. Overall, it is considered a useful tool despite minor issues.

Pros

Effective image blocking including all images on a webpage
Ability to whitelist/allow images on specific sites easily
Simple on/off toggle with an easy-to-use interface
Saves network traffic by blocking images
Useful tool that generally works as intended

Cons

Whitelist exceptions sometimes inconsistent and do not always unblock images as expected
No export/import feature for whitelist causing inconvenience when resetting browser
Does not block videos, only images
Issues noted with blocking not working after first load on some sites

Не работает! Добавляя сайт в список прога не блочит картинки в результатах из этого сайта.

Very pleased with this one. You just go along with the image blockes, until you come to a site where you don't want them blocked, and you then just click on the icon and the plus sign, voila the site is added to white list. Do it a few times, and you won't even have to think about it. Neat. Thanks and rgds.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Fast Image Blocker requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
